MBA for doctors

Like I said in my previous post, I enrolled into executive MBA a little over a year ago.

Good things:

1.they didn't ask me to take GMAT ( I would've failed miserably),

2.the tuition is not atrocious since it's a relatively obscure albeit real, as opposed to online, school of business ( consider this- the renowned schools like Kellogg and NYU ask for about 120k/2 yrs...)

3. The pace is not frenetic

4. There are several "concentrations", including Marketing, Health Care Administration, and Finance.

5. I'm in "fast track", 48-credit, program

The bad things:

1. You get what you paid for. Sometimes I feel I know more than a certain professor.

2. The new style teaching means asking your students to buy a particular textbook, and then in class use the PowerPoint slides from the same publisher, with identical color scheme and content. Good for teachers- in such case, no need to prepare for the class. Bad for students since the class doesn't add anything beyond a textbook material.
